Whoever says, “Using an eyelash curler to clear pores is a great skincare hack,” has clearly never considered the long-term damage this hack creates.

This trend resurfaced on our timeline and we want to be clear: never use an eyelash curler to clear blackheads.

Not every skincare hack is legit. Do your future self a favor and just don’t.

Summer is NOT the time to use retinoids/retinols without Daytime Sun Protection.

Retinoids and retinols, Vitamin A derivatives, have become popular go-to products for skin cell turnover, increased collagen production, wrinkle reduction, and more.

When exposed to sunlight, they put your skin at risk for increased photosensitivity, hyperpigmentation, and UV damage. Anyone using retinols should apply them at night, and liberally apply sunscreen with SPF 50 or higher during the day. You should also practice safe sun protection: wear protective clothing; avoid direct sunlight as often as possible; skip tanning.

At MIVAS aesthetics we offer a better way to treat your skin without putting it at risk: Exosome Therapy.

Deeply hydrate. Smooth skin tone and texture. Brighten skin. Enhance collagen and elastin production. And so much more.

Women hate hearing they look angry.

Let’s be honest: sometimes we are. Most of the time, it’s static forehead wrinkles making us look tired, worried, or mad, even when we aren’t.

When we’re young and our skin is healthy, we see dynamic wrinkles–wrinkles that only become visible when making facial expressions. Then they go smooth again. Over time, natural collagen production and elastin declines. Sun damage breaks down our skin barrier. Photoaging accelerates the aging process. Suddenly, we’re left with static (permanent) wrinkles.

The phrase “forehead wrinkles” typically covers the horizontal lines that form across your forehead and the vertical lines that form between your eyebrows, also known as glabellar lines.

To smooth the forehead, we target three muscles:
1. The frontalis muscle.
2. The corrugator muscle.
3. The procerus muscle.

The key to a great lip? 👄 Understanding lip anatomy and aging!

Just like your overall face, your lips change as you age. Fat pads diminish. Collagen levels decline. Muscles weaken. Soft tissue shifts. As a result, your lip structure changes:
• Lips may thin or flatten as fat and soft tissue diminish, especially the upper lip.
• The sharp outline of your lips (vermilion border) blurs.
• Your cupid’s bow may soften, fade, or flatten.
• As blood vessels in the vermilion border decrease, lip color dulls.
• As fat and muscle descend, the space between your nose and upper lip elongates, stretching the philtrum.
• As the surrounding muscles in your chin and cheeks weaken and skin sags, the corners of your mouth (commissures) are pulled down.

Cumulative UV damage, loss of hyaluronic acid, collagen, and elastin, and lifestyle factors all contribute to lip aging.

Melissa LOVES lip treatments and with 20+ years of experience in the aesthetic industry, you know your lips will look flawless.

There are a number of ways to prevent or delay lip aging, from wearing sunscreen—yes, on your lips—to aesthetic treatments. Lip aging often starts in your 40s. Protect your pout and schedule a consultation to see how we can preserve your lip’s appearance.
